Manchester United and Ipswich Town’s Premier League clash has been thrown into VAR chaos after a controversial handball decision.

The Red Devils had found themselves behind against the Tractor Boys as they looked to bounce back from an opening day loss to Hull City. However, five minutes before half-time, Bruno Fernandes fired Michael Carrick’s side level.

And the Red Devils emerged from in the second half as the better team, with Bryan Mbeumo missing a golden chance to send them ahead. However, it was Harry Maguire that fired them ahead of his controversial strike was allowed to stand following a lengthy VAR check.
